Maui Island Airfield

Maui's primary facility for commercial aircraft transporation of passengers and freight is in Central Maui. The facility is a complex of runways and buildings for the takeoff, landing, and maintenance of civil aircraft, with facilities for passengers and air freight.

On arriving in Maui you are at a perfect location to travel to all the other communities on the Island.

Maui is a very popular destination. More than 6 million passengers arrive every year.

Central Maui is not a common place for visitors to vacation, but it is a good place to acquire groceries and provisions before your short trip to the beach resorts in South or West Maui. Central Maui is the perfect location to land and travel to your accommodations.

How did Kahului get OGG? The answer is simple. OGG is named after Jim Hogg, a former Hawaiian Airlines pilot. Most airports have an airport code that is an acronym. New York's JFK International was named afer President John F. Kennedy. Maui's airport proudly honors a local airline pilot.

NEW AIRPORT ACCESS ROAD TO IMPROVE TRAFFIC AND EFFICIENCY AROUND KAHULUI AIRPORT

The Hawaii Department of Transportation (HDOT) Airports Division celebrated the opening of the new Kahului Airport Access Road July 2016. The new Airport Access Road connects Hana Highway to Lanui Loop. The improvements will help relieve traffic congestion on Dairy Road, which is the only roadway that leads to the airport from south Maui via Puunene Avenue and west Maui via Kuihelani Highway. All of this traffic travels on Dairy Road and mixes with the airport bound traffic. The new Access Road will help separate the airport users from the local community.
